Onboarding

Help new starters find their way around the company and handle their first tasks.

New starters need to know who is who, where things are and what to do in their first days — without being buried in information.

Teaching approach: Explain a topic. A clear, well-paced explanation with a goal at the start and a checklist of first tasks at the end.

Tips

  • Split onboarding into several short lessons and send them day by day with a sequence triggered by the start date.
  • Add photos of real people and places — a face makes "who to ask" much easier.
  • Keep detailed procedures in separate Procedures & tools lessons people can come back to.
